After the floodgates opened on these Star Wars spoilers I'm getting really annoyed the same hasn't happened yet for Game of Thrones. Lads really is in a box in the middle of a field, isn't he?

The rock shouldn't be alien to Cersei she was their till she was 13. Maybe after she gets hitched to Euron she ends up on the Iron Islands. Though in this case it may speak of environments rather than actual physical places. So clearly Cersei ends up happy in a place where the world over and worships her and gives her everything she desires. She is clear headed, calm, peaceful, content, happy, blissful, she skips everywhere, and she sings to little birds and squirrels that land on her finger. It's gonna be a total shock and surprise to the audience. The last episode is a musical staring Cersei. Everyone ends up happy and friends and singing, it's only Alien enviroment I can think of for them, cause what else they gonna throw at them, hell Jon has already died, already been there done that. Or they're all Wights. The question is though, if she does go to the CR, does she die there or does she come back to KL and dies there (if she dies, which we all assume she will)? I still say King's Landing but I'm open to it happening in CR. Well I am not sure why they would mix in the rock, I could see Tyrion ending up there. What's there for her? Also like Highgarden, who controls it? The rock got taken, is it still held, or do we have all these empty castles floating around like Sunspear, The Rock, and Highgarden? Cersei could snd troops to reclaim it, that was her plan when Dany went north, to take back territory but the show runners have shown little interest in these sort of open ended minor lot lines. You know Jaime regretted in many ways to killing the Mad King. Not because he didn't deserve it but rather what it did to him emotionally, his vows which he mocks, weigh on him. Tyrion and Jaime seem to have little interest in doing it, and maybe that's just a way to build it up, to back them into a corner. Cersei probably solves this problem for them but who knows. Blow it up seems kind of been their done that, suicide? well she almost did that once. Prisoner? She has been a prisoner. Humiliated? Been there done that. There has to be a point to the Mountain and Qyburn being there, being so close to her. UnCersei? I would like to see the NK get south of the neck and raise some hell. Don't know if he will, but at least it gives his presence some impact. Like you would think there would be some reckoning for Cersei and Euron pulling the backstab. Euron sailing back from Volantis and boom NK, destroys the fleet as Euron watches in horror with the whole oops probably should of done something about that. Still think Euron is walking into a trap, Euron in Volantis, Mel heading to Volantis, it would seem there should be some conflict. Maybe Euron captures her ship, though she should be able to evade them, unless she doesn't want too. You would think two of the current main cast being in the same place at the same time would have an encounter. The Euron book plot also has a very anti religion motif so that could tie in there. I also think that was part of the book NK deal, I think he went from being religious, to hating religion, to wanting to be god, or maybe he was always messed up and wanted to be a god. Lots of gods and religions in the series running into conflict. The Drowned God, the many faced God, the Storm God, the Red God, the Seven, the Old gods, the Harpy. Religion and religious conflict are often part of it and certain characters were tied to specific gods. When Aeron has his vision after the shade of the evening and the build up to it, the priests, septons, Warlocks, Aeron, the Red Priest, all prisoners of Euron all strapped to the prow of a ship, and the vision, all gods, crucified on the Iron throne. The tall shadowy women with pale fire for hands. He recalls his past and how he had speculated in order to stop Euron perhaps a marriage of Vic to Asha, Uncle to Niece and he thinks about it without giving it a second thought. It really is a shame they skipped the book Euron story and the Iron born story. Oh well, maybe we still get the religious connection with Euron. And Cersei, I want UnCersei.

To be fair, after all the shit storm he experienced on freefolk and that HBO probably caught him, he probably won’t ever come back.

Speculations based on the filming information so far and the director information combined: We know that there will be a character named Sarra (possibly a Frey) being played by Danielle Galligan, and we know that she will be in an episode directed by David Nutter, and we also know that she filmed in November and finished filming: watchersonthewall.com/filming-winterfell-batch-new-names-season-8/mashable.com/2017/11/27/game-of-thrones-season-8-casting-news-sarra-frey/#sJOyn4mu0iqsMy assumption is that the character will be in episode 1 or 2, and that David Nutter has been filming in late October and in November, probably episodes 1 and 2. So I think Nutter filmed some WF battle and siege scenes, it was probably him who was working in those WF sets with trebuchets and CGI, not Sapochnik. The actors who have been heavily filming in October and November were the ones who play the characters that will be in the northern storyline: Kit, Emilia, Peter, Liam, Kristofer, Nikolaj, Gwendoline, Daniel have been filming a lot. I'm guessing that Sapochnik started filming in late November and has been filming in December, Wagner says that they are currently filming and the interview is a recent one. They probably started with episode 3 imho, so to me it seems like they are mostly filming in order. In late November and early December, there was filming at Pyke location with Alfie Allen, some Kit, Emilia, Maisie and also Pilou-Hafþór sightings. The set prepared for KL and probably a dragon attack (spoilers of WOTW) was ready and I think it can be Sapochnik who started or will start filming there. So I think Sapochnik can be mainly filming Greyjoy storyline, maybe some sea battles or the Golden Company battle, and the dragon attack to KL. I currently think that the NK and the ice dragon can be attacking KL in episode 3, it can be episode 5 too but what will the ice dragon be doing until episode 5 then? The prolonged WF siege shows that the ice dragon can't burn WF or destroy it completely for some reason, probably because WF is protected by magic. And WOTW said that they were pretty certain that parts of KL (and possibly the Red Keep too because of Dany's vision) would be burned by dragonfire, so I still think that it's possible that the NK flies to KL in episode 3 with the ice dragon.

So Nutter will do 1, 2 and 4. . Actually sapochnik can still do another one. He might just be working with someone other than the Fabian guy on it.The person on 4chan who originally broke that the directors for season 8 would be the Ds, nutter and sapochnik said sapochnik would do 2,3 and 5.

If Sapochnik is directing ep2 too, then it can mean that Winterfell attack/siege starts in ep1 (maybe at the end of ep1) because the filming spoilers show that David Nutter has been filming in November in WF sets (November the 12th for certain) and we have started seeing trebuchets in early November.

I suppose that's possible, but even the end of 801 seems kind of soon for the siege. Unless the WF set is also being used for The Last Hearth, Karhold, The Dreadfort etc and they show the NK sieging those castles in a montage before he attacks WF.

Yeah, I was guessing that WF could be attacked in ep2. If Sapochnik is directing ep2 too like belle said, maybe they didn't film any attack or siege scenes in November and we have only seen the preparations back then. I think WF attack/siege is most likely to start in ep2 regardless of the episode being directed by Nutter or Sapochnik.

I think WF attack/siege is most likely to start in ep2 regardless of the episode being directed by Nutter or Sapochnik. I think that makes sense. 801 could probably just cover Tormund and Beric's escape from Eastwatch, the NK and the army of the dead attacking several Northern castles, Jon and Dany's arrival in WF and number of character interactions and reunions there, the last preparations before the NK attacks, following Jaime on the Kingsroad and whether he recruits the Riverlands forces, Cersei maybe meeting the Golden Company after Euron gets them, and then if Mel goes to the Red Temple in Volantis, I'd at least like to see that on screen. We didn't see any Essos in S7, but it would still be cool to see Mel and Kinvara interact there.

I have read the earlier filming spoilers again and here is another speculation: It seems like David Nutter has been filming some Unsullied scenes in late October and early-mid November, supposedly outside the walls of Winterfell: watchersonthewall.com/exclusive-game-of-thrones-season-8-spoilers-new-set-photos-unsullied-scene/It says that there wasn't a battle scene, the army was just guarding WF and was ready for an attack of wights. And then in late November and early December, WF scenes were filmed with trebuchets and it was told that there was a protracted siege now: watchersonthewall.com/exclusive-spoilers-two-main-locations-star-in-game-of-thrones-season-8-battles/So, it seems like the NK and his army have beaten the Unsullied outside the walls and started a siege, doesn't it? They were prepared for the wights but not for the ice dragon and although it seems like the ice dragon can't destroy WF thanks to its protection against magic, it would burn the Unsulllied army waiting outside. It's pure speculation of course but how can they start a protracted siege if they don't destroy the Unsullied army waiting outside?
